Hi, I have posted here before but need some help again!!
I had decided along with my gp to lower my dose of hrt to see where im at (im 57 and do not know when my last menstrual cycle was as i had been on the pill until i was nearly 55)
I halved my patch last sunday, changed the half a patch yesterday but i have the most awful period like pain. I have had this since about 11 o'clock last night.
So my question is: could this be due to the decrease in hormones and I should apply a whole patch as half isn't enough or could it be a coincidence. I have had period like pain before on the odd occasion but nothing like this. It is so painful and kept me awake all night.
I called my GP this morning but the 2 doctors that deal with hormone related problems are not in until tomorrow so iv got to call back in the morning.
TIA ladies, I hope someone can help me with this
